The correct answer is B. Strategy
Step-by-step explanation:
Conducting research implies gathering information to answer a question or prove a hypothesis but besides this, the process itself is complex and involves many other steps, because of this the first step is always to plan the process of researching and having a good start. In this first stage, you will need to decide on the basic elements such as the topic, the question or hypothesis and most importantly the strategy you will use to complete every step of the process and to find the sources and information you need. Therefore, in the planning stage of conducting research, it is very important to start with a strategy because this will allow addressing appropriately the rest of the process. Also, others such as time laine, internet or resource person are not included in some research or are not part of the planning stage.
